Listening to our callers through the earpiece, the volume output seems to be effective enough to allow us to comprehend voices with little problems. However, in noisier settings, it becomes almost unusual due to its weak performance. Additionally, the same thing applies when relying on the speakerphone, since it’s output is dull and extremely low in overall tone to properly have conversations.

Primarily testing it out in a high coverage area in the greater Philadelphia region, the HTC One X manages to maintain a solid connection to the network – with no instances of major fluctuations or dropped calls. Meanwhile, its Wi-Fi signal strength appears to be in tip-top shape, as it maintains a steady connection to a wireless router that’s 30 feet away.

And then there’s battery life with the HTC One X, which some people might find skeptical since LTE devices are known to be voracious with battery power. To tell you the truth, we used it extensively under HSPA+ connections instead, and with that, we’re happy to report that we’re able to get by a single day of normal usage on a full charge. However, with heavy usage, it’s able to at least push through the 12 hour mark.

Conclusion:

Let’s be serious here people! Should be lament that AT&T’s version resorts to using a dual-core processor instead of wielding a quad-core one like its international sibling? Of course not, mainly because this version of the HTC One X maintains the same excellent level of performance. And if that’s not enough for you, it’s been outfitted with 4G LTE connectivity to really round out its feature filled arsenal, but more importantly, it’s the one distinctive and usable feature that makes this version stand out apart from its sibling from across the big lake.

There’s no arguing about the HTC One X being a top-shelf smartphone, but unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, it’s not flaunting a price point that’s overblown to proportions. Rather, customers are truly in for a treat considering that it’s sticking to that usual golden price of $200 on-contract, which seemingly makes it a great buy in many ways. Sure, it’s not perfect in all categories, but as a whole, it delivers enough of a bite to really get consumers in the US excited.

From its pristine design, to the expansive personalization available with its Sense interface, the HTC One X is the newest device on the scene to beat. Of course, you might be curious about other impending top-self smartphones on the horizon, but as far as we’re concerned, this is the smartphone to pick and own right now – like don’t wait, just make that impulse decision to pick it up when it arrives in stores. Much like the original HTC EVO 4G, the HTC One X is a remarkable evolutionary step up for the Taiwanese manufacturer.

It's just personal preference I guess, what may excite you, i.e. the Galaxy SIII may not excite someone else... I for one am not even slightly concerned with any phone Samsung puts out (been burned too many times)

lol I know the razr maxx has a god-like battery but that was last gen phone. I can't beleive that since this is nexy gen tech it still can't at least be on par.

As for the TEGRA 3 well who gives a sh1t about that POS all nvidia want to do is be the First to bring something new out and it has always been the 1st to fail. But than again the POS in the evo 3d went south even quicker.

I'm praying to the smartphone gods that the gs3 won't use any crapdragons

S3 will not use any Snapdragons since Samsung has explicitly stated that the Exynos 4412 and Exynos 5215 will have LTE out-of-the-box. The only reason why the American variations used the S3 was for data speeds which was stupid,the only one that didn't was the one for AT&T(SGH-i777). And dude RAZR Maxx has a big battery, but you could always source one from Mugen or Anker that can go higher to 4500mAH, oh and must I say that I can open the back of my phone, and use w/e size of battery I would like. And Benchmarks don't equate to real world performance. I would wait until next year, when manufacturers start producing A15 Quad Cores with GPUs that match the XBOX 360's.

Thanks you John for being fair in this review, can we please have a comparison between the Lumia 900 and the Samsung Focus S? Also, how many hours of web browsing can I get on the S4 version of the One X on WiFi?

Well, in my own personal experience I managed to get at least a single day of normal usage on a full charge - though, that's with HSPA+ connectivity. I'd imagine you'd get ample time, as long as you simply turn off the cell connection and strictly use Wi-Fi.

depends what apps you use, what games you play, adds in games kill the battery alot. You aren't doing something right for sure, i get a full day (+ more) with my HTC Desire, from 8:00am-11pm. thats with about 1 hour browsing, 30 minutes games, 1 hour of music, and around 40 text messages a day. (and i normally browse, listen to music and text at the same time). Do you browse the web a lot? Displaying white screens on amoled displays drains the battery, its a trade off for being great on battery displying black

I'm not playing games, the only one I have it FIFA 12 which is not working, (it's displaying some kind of error at launch and many people are experiencing the same with no solution for now, btw), I'm browsing web, about 10 texts a day, no music, I have a dark metal look as a wallpaper (part of HTC standard wallpapers).
I have to work on experimenting solutions, I know I'm doing something wrong, this phone suppose to have a good battery. Thanks for the input.

This just shows that people who are stuck up about grammar and stuff are literally low on common sense. I say this because when we say "that chick is hot" , i hope you literally don't run after her with a thermometer coz that would literally suck.

Eh, that's the same mashup of colors that's always been used in the Evo line: red, black, and silver.

I've always been puzzled by their choice of red though; it seems way too Verizon-ish. At the risk of making the handset look like a gigantic bee, I think it would be a better show of Sprint solidarity to go with yellow and black instead.

I need an opinion. Should I exchange for this or keep my galaxy note? Browsing, gaming, and music are a big deal for me and I love the huge screen on the note. 4.7 sounds good but I'm not sure if I'll like it as much as thegalaxy notes display. I'm so confused and the 7th is the last day I can switch. Also, I got the note at a discount because of a mishap on my account so I only paid $149.99. So I'll be adding money for the one x. Is it worth it?

I am starting to think HTC is paying people to review...
Honest feedback I have seen from HOFO and XDA, battery life is in the 12-14 hr range under regular usage, the matte finish is prone to scufffing, scratches, the pic quality is decent under good light (albiet soft) and terribly grainy under low light, video recording is fine but not as advertised for sure.
And I can't seem to understand how just under 10gb of usable space on a flagship is tolerated. If this was any other manufacturer reviewers would roast them, but for some reason it barely gets mention here...

Damn at&t making it 16GB with only about 9.93GB left for users is super lame. I think at&t purposely does it so customers are "forced" to increase their data plan (ie. from 3GB to 5GB).
I would definitely get it right away if it has 32GB built-in storage.
I guess I might have to give Samsung Galaxy S3 a try... although I love Sense UI from hTC.
